Hi, I’m currently writing my application essay for Pitzer. Would you happen to know what they are looking for in the supplement application essay (650 words)? They discuss the core values, but I’m lost on how to show what I’ve done with them. I have volunteered for social justice for the past six months and been a part of an international film festival, but not in a leadership capacity. Thanks
I think both of those are great items to discuss in more detail. Don’t worry about the leadership issue – sometimes being a strong contributer is a kind of quiet leadership of its own. Talk more about what drew you to those activities, what you learned. Is there anything like them happening around Pitzer where you could expand or continue your involvement – maybe not in the exact same things, but something similar?
Thanks! I’ll do some research on that ASAP.
